Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited on Thursday launched its 4G mobile service in the city. A total of 137 base tower stations in the city have been upgraded from 3G service to 4G service.

Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan formally launched the new service that offered higher data download speed, in the presence of Chief General Manager, BSNL, Tamil Nadu Circle, V. Raju, and Madurai BSNL General Manager S.E. Rajam.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Venkatesan said the first Prime Minister of India had created various temples of development in the form of public sector units.

However, the PSUs, especially the BSNL and railways, were facing a lot of stress now. He said it was high time for employees and customers of the PSUs to strive to safeguard the public sector organisations.

The development seen in the last 10 years on telecommunication front had been much higher than the overall development seen in the last several centuries.

Mr. Raju said the 4G service was available in Coimbatore, Salem, Tiruchi and Nagercoil. The service would be expanded to other areas of Tamil Nadu in a phased manner.

Stating that the 4G service offered higher download speed, he said it would help people save time in downloading content from social media.

Even videos could be played live without any interruption, he added.
